Mobile Dual-Phase Vacuum Extraction

Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) conducts Mobile Dual-phase extraction (MDPE), also known as multi-phase extraction, or vacuum-enhanced extraction, events to remove various combinations of contaminated ground water, separate-phase petroleum product, and hydrocarbon vapor from the subsurface. MDPE is a technology that uses a high vacuum system to extract liquids and vapor from the subsurface which are then treated and collected for disposal, or re-injected to the subsurface (where permissible under applicable state laws). OES’s Guzzler® ACE® can handle the full spectrum of wet and dry material. It will remove fuel, water, or sediment from tanks and tank pits and it’s very effective for dewatering, hydrocarbon removal and remediation. Day in and day out, no other design delivers the productivity achieved with OES and The Guzzler®.

Oklahoma Environmental Services maintains a Diedrich D-50, Low Clearance, Self-Propelled Gas/Propane Powered Skid Rig in its inventory. The rig’s low profile and ability to be powered by propane make it ideal for advancing boreholes inside of buildings and other structures. The all purpose drill rig is used for soil and rock explorations using augers, rotary tools, or core drilling tools. It is capable of installing 2” or 4” wells, to a depth of 125 feet below ground surface using hollow stem augers.

Oilfield Services

Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) offers oilfield services that include the remediation of petroleum and brine impacted soils and groundwater, reserve pit closures and soil farming. OES’s direct push rig enables the rapid delineation of contaminants associated with the oil exploration and production industry. We complete baseline pre-drilling sampling with rapid turn-around at well site area water wells for up-front purchase negotiation or environmental liability reviews. Our customers appreciate the OES tracking database customized for their projects with all applicable data and results in an easy to view one-place format.

Soil & Groundwater Remediation

Developing cost-effective solutions to clean up contaminated sites requires experience and creativity. By exploring all practical alternatives, Oklahoma Environmental Services’ (OES) technical staff provides strategies which place our clients’ interests first. Our team has an established record of performance and is recognized for innovative approaches to the remediation of chemically impacted soil and groundwater. OES’s approaches include in-situ surfactant-enhanced remediation, pump-and-treat remediation, mechanical air-sparge and soil vapor extraction systems, free product removal systems, microbial degradation, and excavation and disposal of impacted material. We are a regional authorized distributor for Magnum Spillbuster, an automatic recovery system that efficiently removes free-phase LNAPLS and DNAPLS as thick as #6 oils from groundwater aquifers while leaving the water behind. Ask about this successful, cost savings approach to product recovery!

OES evaluates each site cleanup according to such factors as site location, surface cover, lithology, contaminant load, target clean up goals, and ultimate cost. The selection of a remedial technique is based on a final analysis of cost versus successful application.

Patented In-Situ Method

Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) received a patent, U.S. Patent No. 7,845,883, for OES’s in-situ (aka in place) method of washing contaminated soils with surfactant followed by the mobile dual phase, high vacuum extraction of both contaminated groundwater and volatilized petroleum hydrocarbons. Surfactant (biodegradable surface active agent) is injected into the impacted subsurface by OES to encapsulate the liquid hydrocarbons in the treatment area. The surfactant breaks the surface tension bond between the soil particle and the petroleum hydrocarbon, mobilizing the hydrocarbon so it can be recovered. OES’s patented recovery method provides a specialized process for contaminant extraction and removal. Their Guzzler® liquid ring vac rig delivers 28” Hg and 3790 CFM of airflow for maximum removal of subsurface liquids and vapors. OES also employs the use of powerful, yet safe, chemical oxidants to “polish” their patented clean-ups. Chemical oxidation creates a controlled chemical reaction that effectively destroys the targeted contaminant. The chemical reaction produces oxygen providing for a seamless transition from in-situ chemical oxidation to enhanced aerobic bioremediation.

Water Resource Consulting

Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) assistance to wastewater plant operations of any size addresses technical concerns for various process controls, and permit compliance assistance that considers sampling frequencies, sample locations, and future sampling plans. We can make and implement recommendations for improvements to keep your plant within facility permit requirements.

OES staff has experience with non-community, non-transient, and community public water systems. In order to comply with Safe Drinking Water Act regulations, we can quickly evaluate sampling frequency, which sample analyses are appropriate, and work with the state agency to identify steps to return to and maintain compliance.

OES’s experienced environmental staff will assist the lender, buyer, or seller in performing a Transaction Screen, Phase I, or Phase II ESA. Our staff has extensive experience working with the transacting parties to determine the appropriate scope of work to characterize and determine environmental risk. All OES Environmental Site Assessments comply with the ASTM Phase I E 1527 standard which was revised in accordance with EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Rule.

Asbestos Survey

Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) offers comprehensive services for the identification and management of asbestos containing materials. OES personnel are licensed under the Oklahoma Department of Labor to provide asbestos inspections in general accordance with EPA regulation 40 CFR 763, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) for the identification of asbestos containing materials for National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) required demolition surveys, remodels, or for property transactions.

The asbestos NESHAP requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing building materials be identified, classified and quantified prior to planned disturbances or demolition activities. OES personnel are trained to develop operation and maintenance (O&M) plans for the management in place of asbestos containing materials. O&M plans are developed for the purpose of minimizing and/or eliminating the possibility of exposure to airborne asbestos fibers which allows identified asbestos containing materials to remain in place to minimize the cost of a full asbestos abatement.
